Cartoon Remakes are Just Ridiculous

I know that everyone below the age of thirteen seems to be enjoying the many remakes of beloved cartoons, but too many people are ashamed of these blasphemous garbage remakes known as reboots.
Some of these new versions of old cartoons are slightly exciting, like the potential to have a "Samurai Jack" reboot, and nickelodeon announcing that they are bringing back beloved cartoons like "Hey Arnold," "CatDog,"and even the loved by many "Rugrats." Rumors are floating around about a restart of "The Ren and Stimpy Show" as well.
We have seen many reboots come and plummet to hell for many, many reasons. For example the remake of the "Teen Titans" was a highly anticipated show by everybody seventeen and older. The original show brought us to our knees with laughs and sadness. When the new and so called improved version came around, it kicked the ideals of everything we loved about the original in the teeth and completely, absolutely, utterly, ruined everything.
Need another example? Every single redone version of "Scooby Doo." Enough said. Or how about the renewed "Looney Toons?" This is one of the biggest disappointments in cartoon reboot history. When I think of this, I think of someone vomiting for eternity into a toilet bowl.
One of the biggest issues with many different reboots are the character designs. Usually the people who make the cartoons want to modernize whatever cartoon they are remaking, but unfortunately, this means making it look like trash because that is the result of most of the modern technology.
Why would you take what is good and try to make it modern? Sometimes things that are good should be left alone.Why do reboots of cartoons often seem to forget everything they already did when the show originally came out? What happened to everything that happened originally? All the emotion is suddenly drained. Rather than playing off the original story and making a more enthralling story that still ties with the original, they just junk the entire thing. Why? Because it apparently needs to be modernized.
Reboots are ruining young children’s lives. They will never know what real cartoons are. Supposedly this is why they renew these original ideas, but they seem to have dumbed down what was once glorious. The world is waiting for the day that an amazing cartoon comes around that isn’t a reboot, because so far every reboot has been a disappointment.
